Method
 

Sear the Filet Mignon
  1. Take filet mignon steaks out of the refrigerator and let sit for about 30 minutes to get to room temperature.
  2. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  4. Add steaks to the pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
Create the Lobster Cream Sauce
  1. In a separate saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and lemon juice, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  4. Gradually stir in heavy cream and let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Fold in shrimp and lobster, and season with salt and pepper.

Notes

If the sauce looks lumpy, stir well; it will taste delicious. Consider adding a splash of white wine for extra flavor. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted asparagus for a complete meal.
